✦ Synopsis

This book provides a basic approach to understanding and effectively applying industrial process control based on the systems concept. It provides an overview of an operating system, then divides it into sections for individual discussion. It covers topics including the operating system, process control, pressure systems, thermal systems, and level determining systems. It also addresses flow process systems, analytical process systems, microprocessor systems, automated processes, and robotic systems.
